Some Yogis who change the world..

I came across this great article.. About 20 yoga do-gooders who are changing the world. I especially took note of the two below:


Bent On Learning
Bent On Learning is a nonprofit organization based in New York City that brings yoga to kids in school—not after school—but right in the classroom. Since 2001, trained yoga instructors have taught over 18,000 kids in the New York public school system during the school day. They currently hold 136 classes per week.

Sonima Foundation
The Sonima Foundation—co-founded by Sonia Jones, a wellness advocate—works in public schools to train local educators in the Sonima Health and Wellness Curriculum, which they then assess, measure, and document. Sonima uses this information to influence the national conversation around the impact of health and wellness on children. The nonprofit's main goal is to develop policies that make health and wellness an essential component of the education system. In 2014 Jones launched Sonima.com, an editorial website with a similar mission of providing trusted information about wellness, yoga, and mindfulness practices.
